I use to own a large portion of the B&O Railroad. But, things got tight and I sold it when I had to pay rent on several houses and then buy a hotel on Marvin Gardens.

Thank you for the video. Dates and maps of B&O expansion during the 1800 would be interesting. 👍👍

One way that the Union railroad was better than that in the South was it was all one gauge in the North, whereas in the South, there were various different gauge rails so if the Union force knocked out one track or engine, it was out of commission for a longer time (sometimes permanently out).

Thanks for this. Imho, a roof such as the roundhouse's that has weathered 102 years of snow storms, heavy and light, and, I'm certain, a number of hurricanes, is a pretty good track record. As my late father said, if a man built it, it's gonna break sometime. Again, good job.

I love these 5 minute histories. Part of my family has deep roots in the city. In fact, my 3rd great grandfather, William Carroll (no ties to the wealthy Carrolls that I’ve found) died in a workplace accident at Mount Clare Station in 1866.

in the latter 1940s there was a new addition to the roundhouse that came from Hope Slatter's old slave pen. As it was torn down historians preserved the huge oven that had been in the yard of the pen. it was reconstructed in the roundhouse. Since then it has disappeared and b no one remembers it. The greatest mystery?
